(In late 2016, some folks contributed translations for a Google doc to translate CE Insights. Have those 2016 translations been kept and merged for 2018?)
Translations from the 2017 survey have been kept. Translation effort is only for new questions or updated ones.
Any translations in another language is welcome but will require to translate all elements, both 2017 kept ones and 2018 ones.
Arabic, French and Ukrainian done.
I'm worried a bit about German, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese.
Some languages can't have translations done in time. Qualtrics will provide translations, Edward is budgeting.
That's based on the evolution of translated messages. Like I've said to Edward, that's not a surprise, while they are hundred of elements to translate.
Due date is soon, so, after reviewing the different options (ping people elsewhere, involve staff, etc.), Edward has decided to go for professional translations.
Updates and translations are needed for:

A message will be sent to translators for updates when Legal says yes.
Lowering. There are still translations to be done, but a few. Effort is now on T190145: Support CE insights distribution.
